• Check that they are before putting into operation the reliability of your model and the remote control system.
  Look out for any signs of damage, such as faulty connections or damaged cables. All moving parts have to function smoothly, but no play in the main in storage have.

• If questions arise that can not be ascertained with the help of the manual, please contact with our "technical advice" (contact information, see Chapter 1) or other qualified installer.

The operation and use of radio controlled models must be learned! If you have never seen a remote controlled model, so start very careful and be familiar with the reactions of the model on the remote control commands. Have patience!

b) Operation

• Shouldn't they feature sufficient knowledge available via the use of radio-controlled models, please contact an experienced modeller or a model club.
• First, turn on the transmitter. After that turn on the receiver. Doing so may cause, unpredictable reactions of the model! Angles from the side of the transmitter antenna to the model, so as to obtain an optimal radiation of transmitter signals. Avoid placing the antenna on top of the model.
• Check before operating on the stationary model, whether it is responding as expected to the remote control commands.
• When operating a model, always make sure that never, body parts or objects within the range of motors or other moving drive components are located.
• Improper operation may cause serious injury and damage to property! Always maintain direct eye contact with the model, and therefore does not operate at night.
• Control your model only if your reaction is given indefinitely. Fatigue, alcohol or medication can influence lead to incorrect responses.
  • Always operate your model in an area where you do not endanger other people, animals or objects. Use the device on private or specially designated for that purpose.
• Set the operation of your model in the event of a fault, and correct the cause of the malfunction before using the model further.
• Don't run your remote control system during a thunderstorm, under power lines or near cell towers.

- Always leave the remote control on (transmitter), while the model is running. After the race, always turn off the motor an after that turn off the remote control. Only then the remote control transmitter is turned off.

• Protect your remote control from wetness and heavy contamination.
• Don't place the transmitter a long time directly in the sun or extreme heat.
• Low batteries (or rechargeable batteries) in the remote control decreases the range. If the receiver battery is low, the model does not respond correctly to the remote control.

☒ In this case, stop the driving immediately. Then replace the batteries with new ones or recharge the batteries.

- Be careful when operating the product! Their own safety and that of your environment depend alone on your responsible use of the model.

• Don't leave batteries / rechargeable batteries open, there is a risk that can be swallowed by children or pets. In such a case, contact a doctor immediately.
• Don't shorting the batteries / rechargeable batteries or throw into fire. Danger of explosion!

- Leaking or damaged batteries / rechargeable batteries can cause acid burns, you therefore use suitable protective gloves.

- Conventional batteries from maintaining not be charged. Risk of fire and explosion! Only charge batteries provided instead, use suitable rechargeable battery chargers.

- Pay attention when inserting the batteries / rechargeable batteries on the correct polarity (postive + / negative -).

- Remove the batteries / rechargeable batteries of the remote control and of the model when not in use. This is to avoid damage due to leak of batteries.

☒ Recharge your battery every 3 months, since this can come through the self-discharge to a so-called deep discharge, so that the battery may become unusable.

- Always replace the whole set of batteries or rechargeable batteries. Do not mix complete with half-full batteries / rechargeable batteries. Always use batteries of the same type and manufacturer.

- Never mix batteries with rechargeable batteries! Use for the remote control batteries or rechargeable batteries.

The lower capacity of battery leads to a reduction of the operating time. This usually plays no role, since the operating time of the transmitter is widely available via the model.

When using rechargeable batteries can cause a loss of range.

8. Charge batteries

Required for the remote control battery is normally upon delivery empty and needs to be recharged.

Please note:

Before a battery that offers maximum performance, several complete discharge and recharge cycles are required.

Discharge the batteries at regular intervals, as may occur when multiple charging a "half-full" batteries for so-called memory effect. This means that the battery will lose its capacity. It is no longer the entire energy stored in the operating time of the model or of the transmitter is lower.

If you use multiple batteries, may be worth buying a quality charger. This usually offers a quick charge for battery.

Each press of the programming and control keys is confirmed by an acoustic signal.

If a button is pressed longer, the values change continuously and the product are made sounds in quick succession.

Center position of the driving function

With the trim button (TR3) for the steering function, the center position for the throttle servo will be adjusted (TH). Press therefore the trim button (TR3) either to the left or right to set the value to 0. If you hold the trim button pressed, the value is changed continuously. The adjustable value is between left and right in each case maximum 30.

Each press of the programming and control keys is confirmed by an acoustic signal.

If a button is pressed longer, the values change continuously and the product are made sounds in quick succession.

Adjust the average exactly even then, if you are replacing a throttle-servos through an electronic speed controller.

11. Commissioning of the receiver

a) Receiver connection

The receiver provides connectivity for up to four servos (CH1, CH2, CH3, CH4) and a receiver battery (B/VCC).

Always pay attention the correct polarity of the connector when you connect the servos. Plug contact for the pulse line should be on the inner (left) pin connected (depending on the manufacturer of yellow, white or orange). Plug contact for the negative line should be in the outside (right) pin connected (depending on the manufacturer black or brown).

Turn on the transmitter and then the receiver. If correctly binding function, the red LED indicator on the receiver flashes. Check the correct function of the receiver and then turn it off again.

If the LED doesn't flash or the servos have no function, you have to do the binding process. For more information you can read about in the next section "Binding function".

Picture 5

Require in addition to the steering servo on receiver output "CH1" and the throttle servo/speed controller receiver output "CH2" can be connected additional a servo to receiver output "CH3". This servo takes at the push of a button functions on the transmitter.

In an electric model with mechanical speed controller is for the power supply of the receiver a battery box or a separate receiver battery required. The power connector which is mounted on the mechanical speed controller must not be used because the voltage at the plug from 7.2 V (at 6 cell battery) is too high for the receiver and the servos.

In an electric model with electronic speed controller is a separate receiver battery for port „B/VCC“ required if the used motor controller has no BEC-circuit. For more information, please refer to the technical documentation of the controller.

b) Install the receiver

Installation of the receiver is always dependent on the model. Therefore, you should follow with respect to the incorporation of the recommendations of the manufacturer's model.

In general, you should always try to position the receiver so that it is optimally protected from dust, dirt, moisture and vibration. Suitable for mounting double-sided adhesive foam or rubber rings that hold the receiver in foam wrapped securely in place.

Drove the antenna wire directly out of the model.

The antenna wire of the receiver has a precisely measured length. For this reason, the antenna wire do not wound, laid in loops or cut. The range of the transmitter would be severely limited and has been pose a significant security risk.

c) Install the servo

The installation of a servo is always dependent on the used model. Detailed information is given in the manual of the model.

Of hard to process rowing servos and linkages can not run into the required position. They consume electricity unnecessarily, and the model has an unclean control behavior.

Mount the servo arm always at a 90^ angle to the steerin linkage. In an angel to the pushrod standing servo arm are not both control directions must be equal.

Make sure before installing the servo arm for the drive and steering function that the trim function of the respective channel is in the center position. For more information, see the section "Setting and check the digital trims" manual.

The servo arm to channel 3 (CH3) must be mounted so that it can run when switching from one end to the other ..

d) Binding function

Thus, the transmitter and receiver can communicate with each other, you need through the same digital code are bound together. When delivered, the transmitter and receiver already matched and can be used immediately. The renewal of the binding function is primarily required for a transmitter or receiver changes or to correct faults.

If a new connection between the transmitter and receiver may be necessary, please proceed as follows:

Unplug all servos from the receiver. Turn on the transmitter. Then open the main menu and select the submenu "RX setup". Now select the function

"Bind with a receiver". Connect a battery to the receiver and the corresponding BIND cable insert at (B / VCC). The LED on the receiver will flash briefly.

Picture 6

The transmitter ends the binding function when a secure connection has been established. Now unplug the battery from the receiver and plug in the servos. After that make a restart to make sure that every servos works well.

12. Install telemetry module

a) Install a speed telemetry module

The receiver allows you to connect a speed sensor on the model. For this purpose you need to draw a line on the rotating part with a permanent marker. If a white rim is installed, you have to draw a black line.

The distance between the line (3) and the sensor (2) may not be larger than 2 mm. The line (3) must be parallel to the sensor (2). The line must have the width of the sensor.

Once you have turned on the transmitter and receiver, the message "engine speed RPM 2:0" is on the LCD screen. Then open the main menu and select the submenu "RX setup". Now select the function "Speed and distance". Set this to the circumference of the tire, so that the speed sensor is working properly.

Picture 7

b) Install a voltage telemetry module

Connect the red and the black connector directly to the battery, or the battery balancer.

The red wire is positive and the black wire is negative. If you have connected the connector correctly, the display will show "Ext voltage2": and the voltage.

c) Install a temperature telemetry module

Connect the temperature sensor to a component which can be warm. The display will show "Temperature 2" and the respective temperature.

To connect the respective sensors you need the included black / white / red wire in the plug "IN" input on the receiver and plug the sensors in the "OUT" output. To connect more than one telemetry module, simply plug the cable continuously in the respective inputs of the sensors.

13. Testing the steering-, drive-, and shift function

Place the model on a suitable base (wooden block or similar) to test the steering and handling functions. The wheels should rotate freely.

a) Test the steering function

For the testing turn on the transmitter and the receiver. If you did everything correctly connected and installed, the steering should respond to the rotary motion of the steering wheel.

When the steering wheel is in the middle position, the wheels need to be aligned.

If the wheels are at an angle, even though the steering wheel is in the center position, you also check whether the servo arm to the steering linkage is wrong.

In this case, disconnect the servo arm and screw it on a "teeth" offset again.

If necessary, other variations of the wheel positions can be corrected by adjusting the steering linkage.

If you steer left, the wheels have to turn to the left. If you steer right, the wheels have to turn to the right.

Picture 21

This feature allows the wheels from locking during braking by automatically pulsing (opening and closing the brakes) to prevent. Thus it is possible to retain the control over the model even during heavy braking.

„Brake return“:

This determines how far the brake is released with each impulse. At 100%, the brake opens completely and the brake servo returns after each pulse back to its neutral position. A value of 0% will be deactivate the "ABS function."

„Delay“:

Here can be set a time delay between the initiation of the "ABS" and the start of the braking action. A value of 0% means no delay, a value of 100% means a delay of approximately 2 seconds.

„Cycle length“:

Here can be determined the duration of an ABS braking period (closed brake, brake open). A value of 20% corresponds to about 100 ms, a value of 100% corresponds to about 500 ms.

„Trigger point“:

Here can be set a trigger point for the "ABS" function. The higher the value is, the longer the „ABS“ is activated. A value of 100% means that the "ABS" function is activated only when braking hard.

„Duty cycle“:

Here can be set the behavior between closed and open brake, must be adjusted during a "ABS braking period." At a value of -4 the brake while the "ABS braking period" is opened to about 10%, at a value of +4 to about 90%.

„Steering mix“:

Here can be coupled the activation of the "ABS" on the steering angle. A positive value (N) is activated the "ABS" only, if they are within the range of steering to the neutral position. A negative value (E) is activated the "ABS" only, when the steering system is located outside the area around the neutral position.
